Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 50: Local militia gathers
After a few polite words from both sides, Pavilion Chief Qian took his leave and went home.

Liu He and others cleaned up the things left after the banquet, then carried out jogging training as usual, and then went home to take a medicinal bath and rest.

Liu He had just laid down when the system's voice rang.

"System prompt: The host bravely destroyed the mountain stronghold and wisely killed the evil official. He was supported by the villagers and was able to lead the village brave team. His performance was excellent. The host's all attributes were rewarded with 1 point increase."

"System prompt: Zhu Ye has achieved his revenge, his mood is bright, and his martial arts strength has increased by 1 point."

"System prompt: Ye Xiang killed someone with a bow and arrow for the first time, killing him instantly with one strike. His understanding of archery has deepened, and his martial arts has increased by 1 point."

Listening to the system's series of reward upgrades, Liu He was in a really good mood.

"What a relief! Good deeds will be rewarded, that's for sure. All my attributes have increased by 1 point, it's so great! By the way, I haven't had time to check Ye Xiang's attributes yet, can the system boss help me check it out?"

"System query, please wait... Ding! Ye Xiang's current attributes: Command 27, Force 47, Intelligence 33, Politics 16, Special attributes: Archery 81."

"Eh? There's also this attribute called archery?"

Liu He was a little puzzled after hearing this.

"Reply to the host, archery is one of the special attributes. There are many generals who are not good at weapons, but have superb archery skills. Archery and martial arts overlap, but they cannot be completely confused. However, archery can only be detected by the system after it reaches 80."

"Archery is the same as the other four attributes, with a maximum value of 100. Each time you shoot an arrow, the value of your archery skill will temporarily replace your force value. In addition, you cannot earn points by increasing your archery skill value."

"Oh, I see. This archery skill is difficult to cultivate, and for people with high martial arts, archery is not very useful in the early stages. But if you specialize in it, if one day your archery skill breaks through the limit, it will be amazing."

Liu He remembered that it was mentioned in the weapons training manual that a truly top-notch archer could not only shoot an arrow through a willow leaf from a hundred paces away and penetrate a rock, but also mastered the five archery techniques of Baishi, Canlian, Yanzhu, Xiangchi and Jingyi, and also trained his senses to an extremely powerful level.

Such an archer not only treats shooting with both hands as a piece of cake, but can also shoot several arrows with one bow at the same time and hit different targets. He can even react instinctively and accurately hit enemies in different directions without using his eyes, just by relying on the comprehensive judgment of various senses. This is truly a magical skill.

Liu He had a vague feeling that if he wanted Ye Xiang to break through his limits in archery, he would most likely have to start from these aspects. If an archer could really do this, he could really use the bow and arrow as the main weapon, while swords, spears, and halberds would become auxiliary weapons.

"Well, we have already decided on our main martial arts training direction and are very proficient in it. It is too late to switch to bows and arrows now. Only Ye Xiang is like a piece of rough jade, and now he needs to be carved. Since he has talent in this area, let's train him to be a master archer!"

Three days later, Zhu Ye entrusted Liu Qian and Qian Tingzhang to sell all the property of the Zhu Mansion, including real estate, one by one, and exchange the rest for grain and currency.

Of course, among the thousands of acres of land owned by the Zhu family, only some that were farther away were sold, and more than 800 acres in Huangshui Township and nearby areas were retained.

However, because these fields are different from the dry land of ordinary farmers, most of these 800 acres of land are relatively fertile irrigated fields, close to the river and with better fertility, so distributing them to gangsters or bandits would easily cause conflicts.

So after much consideration, Liu He and Zhu Ye decided that the new villagers should mainly cultivate their own land, and the more than 800 acres of land would be used as public land for the militia team. Liu He and others would be responsible for recruiting villagers to assist in farming, and the harvest would be shared equally with them.

These lands were originally the property of the Zhu family. Now Zhu Ye is donating them as public property for the militia team that protects the entire township. This will not only allow the militia team to train well, but also will not add extra burden to the villagers. On the contrary, those who assist in farming can also obtain some food. Of course, everyone is happy.

After all the other properties of the Zhu Mansion were sold, the figure really frightened Liu Qian and others. To say that the Zhu Mansion was indeed a wealthy family, after selling these properties, they obtained more than 460,000 coins, more than 1,000 stones of grain, and dozens of various livestock, all of which were raised together with the livestock obtained from the mountain stronghold in the expanded backyard of the Liu family.

With such strong logistical support, the training of the militia team can finally be officially put on the agenda.

Liu He asked people to notify the original 100 militiamen and the newly recruited 130, a total of 230 people, to gather in the open space in front of the Liu family's courtyard at 3:00 p.m. on the second day.

At noon the next day, Liu He and seven other people had lunch together at Liu He's house. Then they each took up their weapons and stood in a row according to Liu He's instructions, waiting for the arrival of the militiamen. Zhang Yu, on the other hand, read a book in the yard.

Starting from six o'clock in the afternoon, local militiamen gradually arrived. When they saw Liu He and others, they came forward to greet them. Then they dispersed and sat on the ground casually, chatting.

Liu He looked up at the sky and then shouted.

"Zhang Yong!"

"Here!" Zhang Yong took a step forward, turned to Liu He, and replied with a fist salute.

These were all specially trained by Liu He before. Liu He based these initial training on some basic knowledge of military training in his previous life, combined with the current situation and what he learned from books in this life.

Liu He glanced at Zhang Yong and shouted, "What time is it now?" Hearing this, Zhang Yong also looked up at the sky, and then looked at the sundial placed at the door of Liu He's house.

"Report! It is already noon!"

"How many people have arrived? How many people are still missing?"

"Report! There should be 230 people here, 162 have arrived, and 68 are missing!"

Liu He nodded, raised his gun and pointed it forward: "Line up! Divide into four rows, from high to low, line up neatly!"

The 162 people sitting below looked puzzled and didn't understand what he meant until Zhang Yong, Guan Yu and others came up and shouted and explained. Then they realized what was going on and lined up as Liu He said, but they were still sitting crookedly and couldn't stand straight.

During this process, other people arrived one after another, but were stopped outside by Zhu Ye according to Liu He's orders.

It was not until 2:15 pm that all 230 people arrived, and 68 of them were stopped at the periphery by Zhu Ye.

"Latecomers line up!"

At Liu He's command, the sixty-eight people lined up under Zhu Ye's supervision.

However, although they were standing still, they were still whispering, talking to each other, and even smiling, as if they didn't take this seriously at all.

Although the circumstances are justifiable, Liu He doesn't blame them, but of course it won't work if you want to train them into an elite soldier.
